France President Emmanuel Macron has put the country under a partial lockdown until Dec. 1 to fight the second wave of the pandemic in France.
The nation was placed under a nightly curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. two weeks ago, but that hasn’t been enough to curb a skyrocketing number of COVID-19 cases. The curfew initially concerned Paris and eight other major cities, and was then extended to 38 more departments, on top of overseas territory a week ago. But as of Oct. 27, there were 33,417 active cases in the country. Along with Spain and Germany, France is currently a COVID-19 hot spot.
Starting on Nov. 30, all of France will be placed under a partial lockdown and all non-essential businesses will have to be closed. Schools, nurseries and businesses deemed essential such as pharmacies and supermarkets will remain open. People are encouraged to work from home but won’t be banned from going to the office.
French distributors such as Gaumont, who were willing to release their movies despite the evening curfew, will be putting those plans on ice until the situation improves. Some of the biggest releases that were expected over the next months included Gaumont’s “Aline, the Voice of Love,” a movie inspired by Celine Dion’s life.
Despite the restrictions on exhibition, the production sector is faring better. Film shoots, for example, are expected to receive special permission to carry on during the lockdown.
